In health, rashes can come from heat, nettles, insect bites, allergies or illnesses like chickenpox or measles. Most are harmless, but tell an adult about any rash, especially with a fever; doctors use the "glass test" for a dangerous rash that does not fade when a glass is pressed on it — that needs urgent help.
